springtime, spring (season)
春 centers on the season of spring, a time of new growth and warmth. The meaning is straightforward and tied to springtime.
春 originally combined 艸 (grass), 屯 (sprout), and 日 (sun) to depict plants growing under the spring sun. The modern form is simplified, with the top part now resembling a person-like shape over 日.
The top part looks like a person bending down to plant seeds under the warm spring sun 日. Picture a gardener starting the season of growth.
For シュン, imagine a spring day so beautiful that you want to shun all indoor activities and go outside: shun -> シュン, and the sun 日 in the kanji draws you out.
